John Connor lives as a gun runner, and bootlegger. He's been on the run from the law for his entire life due to his mother also being a border smuggler. She raised him all along the border, and often amongst the revolutionaries of Mexico. Her reasons for this were warnings from his father that something would try to track them down, and hurt them, and that John had to be kept safe at all costs. Knowing no other life he joined her in this dangerous profession once he was old enough.

He's proven to be quite good at it to. While most of his trade takes place on the border with Mexico, he has traveled north to Canada for some of his bootlegging. He's currently in the metropolis looking to meet his latest buyer.
